Thanks to Martha Schram for this entry in the "Peace is Funny" contest.
Finding Peace
She held on to anger, she held on to woe,
She held them both tightly and wouldn't let go.
She cherished resentment and worked hard to judge.
She felt herself stuck there and tried not to budge.
She frowned, and she fussed, and she worried, and such.
She huffed, and she growled, and she barked way too much.
She felt awfully heavy all burdened and low;
She saw it was silly so she let it all go.
She felt so much better and that made her grin,
She noticed a dimple erupt on her chin.
She built to a titter, an enormous tee-hee!
She couldn't stop giggling, at last she was free!
She snickered and hooted, guffawed, belly-laughed;
She didn't much worry if folks thought her daft.
She let trouble lighten, vexation release.
She learned that a smile is conducive to peace.
For more details about the contest, see the February 29 post.
